uClibc (µClibc) is a C library for developing embedded Linux systems. It is much smaller then the GNU C Library, but nearly all applications supported by glibc also work perfectly with uClibc. Porting applications from glibc to uClibc typically involves just recompiling the source code. uClibc even supports shared libraries and threading. It currently runs on standard Linux and MMU-less Linux (also known as µClinux) systems with support for ARM, i386, h8300, m68k, MIPS, mipsel, PowerPC, SH, SPARC, and v850 processors.

DeVeDe is a program to create video DVDs
(compatible with home players) from nearly any
video format. It only uses Python, MPlayer,
Mencoder, DVDAuthor, VCDImager, and mkisofs, so it
has very few dependencies.

Release Notes: This release fixes a bug when creating a DVD with more than one page in its menu. Now FFMpeg is the default backend.

Freeverb3 is a signal processing library. It includes many types of audio processing effects and signal generators including a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) maximum length sequence (MLS) generator, multiple types of high quality mono+stereo reverb effects, a multi slot impulse response processor, multiband hardknee+softknee compressor and limiter, a stereo enhancer, a limiter, and many types of infinite impulse respose (IIR) and finite impulse response (FIR) filters. Also available is Freeverb3VST, a VST effects plugins package based on the Freeverb3 library.

GLib is a library containing many useful C routines for things such as trees, hashes, and lists. GLib was previously distributed with the GTK toolkit, but has been split off as of the developers' version 1.1.0.

Release Notes: GApplication's APIs for setting menus have completely been moved to GtkApplication. GActionGroup was remodeled, with the introduction of GRemoteActionGroup, to allow for properly dealing with platform data and Gdk threads on window actions. Minor API changes were made. Many bugfixes and memory leak fixes were made. Documentation was improved.

Aspose.Diagram is a class library for working with MS Visio files. It is a pure .NET alternative for MS Visio Object Model. It enables developers to work with VSD and VDX files on ASP.NET Web applications, Web services, and desktop applications. It makes use of the advanced functionality of Visio's services to manipulate Visio documents on a server. A developer can open files and manipulate the elements of the diagram, from lines and fills to more complex elements, and then export to native Visio formats or XML.

Release Notes: This release includes support for an auto layout feature. You can set different styles of Flowchart and CompactTree layouts in your diagrams. Users can set the page size when rendering to TIFF format. Image and PDF rendering features have also been improved in this release. Moreover, rendering of element PolyLineTo and enhanced VSD file Rendering is also included in this release.

RemoteBox is a graphical tool which lets you administer guests or virtual machines running under VirtualBox on a remote server or even your local machine if desired. You may, for example, have a root server on the Internet, a server at home, or a server at work running VirtualBox but want to have the convenience of managing the guests easily from your local machine. The virtual machines run in headless mode, which means you don't need an active graphical display on the server but you can still connect and view the displays of the guests. The goal of RemoteBox is to provide a GUI that should be familiar to VirtualBox users while allowing them to administer a remote installation of VirtualBox. It does this via the VirtualBox API and SOAP interface, which are exposed when running the VirtualBox Web service. You can also use RemoteBox simply as an alternative interface for managing VirtualBox on your local machine.

Release Notes: This release has been rebased from GTK 2.16 to GTK 2.22 as the minimum version required, and has significant code optimizations. Support has been added for creating guest clones (Full, State, and Linked) and marking hard disk images as SSDs and DVD images as Live DVDs. The number of ports on a SATA controller can now be configured manually as well as manually controlling the port a medium is attached to. Support has been added for copying (including converting) hard disk images as well as setting their low-level type (Writethrough, Immutable, Multi-attach, etc.). Plus the usual plethora of GUI tweaks and minor bugfixes.

Edt is a simple text editor that emulates VAX VMS
EDT. It uses the numeric keypad for common editing
functions. It is easy to learn, efficient, and
enables rapid editing. The editor has multiple
buffers, handles large files, and is light-weight.

Release Notes: This release adds a check against accidentally attempting to edit a directory. It adds the ability to start an HTML file by inserting the HTML tags for header and page-body when you type "begin html" at the line-prompt. A Makefile and Sun keyboard map were also added.

Release Notes: The package 'database::oracle_database' was refactored. The package 'gui::context' was refactored. The package 'user::user_markup' was refactored. The package 'page::page_markup' was refactored. The package 'gui::video_markup' was refactored. The package 'core' was refactored. An error in the 'permit::group_markup' was fixed. An error in the 'user::user_markup' was fixed. An error in the 'page::page_markup' was fixed. The documentation was updated.

Loadbars is a small script that can be used to observe CPU loads of several remote servers at once in real time. It connects with SSH (using SSH public/private key auth) to several servers at once and vizualizes all server CPUs and memory statistics right next each other (either summarized or each core separately). Loadbars is not a tool for collecting CPU loads and drawing graphs for later analysis. However, since such tools require a significant amount of time before producing results, Loadbars lets you observe the current state immediately. Loadbars does not remember or record any load information. It just shows the current CPU usages like top or vmstat does.

Release Notes: The --cluster option (which reads the ClusterSSH config file /etc/clusters/) now also supports clusters of clusters. The --hosts option allows the username to be specified, e.g. "./loadbars --hosts user1@server01,user2@server02" will connect to server01 using user1 and server02 with user2.

Stella is a freely distributed multi-platform Atari 2600 VCS emulator. Since its original release, Stella has been ported to many diverse operating systems. Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows are currently supported in the mainline codebase.

Release Notes: This release features many improvements to joystick and mouse handling and an internal logging system. It also includes an updated OpenGL backend, fixes for certain sound issues, and several debugger improvements. Finally, Stella is now DonationWare.

Window Switch is a tool that allows you to move applications between networked computers. The windows appear where you need them, as they were.
You no longer need to save and send documents to move them around; simply move the view of the application to the machine where you need it.

Release Notes: This release contains some important bugfixes (a threading issue was causing application freezes, and it now correctly drops dead connections), and also some new or improved features, including support for VirtualBox sessions, support for setting the timezone and locale when starting a session, faster startup, better window layouts (avoiding the squishy effect), and support for setting the keyboard map to use with rdesktop/xfreerdp.

Data Crow is a movie, video, book, image, software, and music cataloger/media manager. Data Crow uses MusicBrainz, Amazon, IMDb, and many other Web services to retrieve the information for you. It is highly customizable, easy to use, and feature rich. It helps you to keep track of your loans, allows you to create reports, enables you to create your own modules (using wizards) and, most importantly, enables you to easily manage all your collections.

Release Notes: Various fixes related to upgrading and online services as well as some small improvements.

The Paranoid modules provide a number of routines that are intended for use in strict and taint-safe scripts. The modules cover a variety of tasks from command-line argument parsing to process and network management. All of the modules use a debug trace framework for diagnostic output that is easily used and extended for application code as well.

Release Notes: This release fixes a bug in Paranoid::Network::Socket because of which detection of imported symbols in the local namespace wasn't working correctly. This primarily impacted Perl 5.14 installations.

Gtk2-Perl is the collective name for a set of Perl bindings for GTK+ 2.x and various related libraries. These modules make it easy to write GTK+ and GNOME applications using a natural, perlish, object-oriented syntax.

Galera wsrep provider is a dlopenable generic replication library which implements the wsrep provider API. It provides very efficient synchronous replication, and multi-master and "parallel applying" capabilities for opaque data buffers. Its primary focus is data consistency. A transaction is either committed on every node, or not at all. It works anywhere TCP works, including on WAN, and can utilize UDP multicast where available. It is used by the MySQL-wsrep patch project to create true multi-master MySQL/InnoDB clusters.

Release Notes: This is a new major feature release featuring incremental state transfers (replaying of missing transactions to catch up with the cluster). This is a beta preview.
